Inside linebacker Josh Bynes is leaving the Ravens' practice squad to sign with the Detroit Lions, according to a source. He will be on Detroit's active roster.
The Lions had a vacancy on their roster after starting middle linebacker Stephen Tulloch was...

Tom Brady, the future Hall of Famer and all-around cool guy, tossed five touchdown passes and completed 30 of 35 passes in Sunday's 51-23 thumping of the Bears. And four of the incompletions were dropped by his guys. That's four wins in a row. How good...

The man with the NFL's most ordinary name was anything but.
Arizona's John Brown was an arrow through the heart of the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, catching a 75-yard touchdown pass from Carson Palmer with 1 minute 22 seconds left to lift the...

Chicago Bears defensive end Lamarr Houston suffered a season-ending ACL tear in his right knee Sunday while celebrating a fourth-quarter sack with his team trailing the New England Patriots by 25 points, general manager Phil Emery confirmed Monday....

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Ten thoughts after the Chicago Bears surrendered 50 points for the second time in the last 10 games, getting whipped 51-23 on Sunday by the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium.
1. A loss in their next game Nov. 9 at Green Bay and the Bears will fall to 3-6, which would be their worst position since a 31-7 loss to the Ravens on Dec. 20, 2009, the day after 21 inches of snow fell in Baltimore. I bring that game up, when the Bears were 5-9, because the postgame scene in the...

Last week's ranking in parentheses.
1. Seahawks 2-1 (1): No shuffle up top as the four highest-ranked teams are coming off byes. The Seahawks are rested for "Monday Night Football" at Washington.
2. Broncos 2-1 (2): The defense will finally be at full strength as LB Danny Trevathan, the leading tackler a year ago, returns from a broken leg to face the Cardinals.
3. Bengals 3-0 (3): The first major test of the season looms with an NBC prime-time slot in Foxboro to face Tom Brady and the Patriots....

New York Jets fans are probably worried about their favorite team's 1-2 start. Judging by the odd baseball analogy head coach Rex Ryan invoked on Wednesday, he might be even more concerned than the diehards.
"In the NFL, it's the equivalent of a 10-game losing streak when you lose one game," Ryan said. "So, we're on a 20-game losing streak."
Slow down, Rex. For the record, six baseball teams since 1900 have lost at least 20 games in a row. This losing streak is the 11th time in six seasons under...

DETROIT -- Defense scored the first nine points for the Detroit Lions and held the Green Bay Packers' offense to 223 total yards in a 19-7 victory Sunday at Ford Field.
Defensive back Don Carey scored on a 40-yard fumble return in the first quarter and linebacker DeAndre Levy had a team-high nine tackles, one for a safety.
Detroit's offense got on the board on running back Reggie Bush had a 26-yard scoring run in the fourth quarter for Detroit (2-1), which bounced back from a loss at Carolina the...

Peyton Manning brought the Denver Broncos so far . . .
But he couldn't help the Seattle Seahawks' playing keep-away.
After Denver's furious fourth-quarter rally to tie the Super Bowl rematch Sunday, the Seahawks hogged the football in overtime, methodically marching downfield to secure a 26-20 victory at home with a six-yard run and plunge over the goal line by Marshawn Lynch.
The victory ensured Seattle wouldn't slip too far behind Arizona in the topsy-turvy NFC West, after the undefeated Cardinals...

Detroit Lions linebacker Stephen Tulloch is out for the season after hurting his ACL while celebrating a sack during the Sunday's game against Green Bay.
Tulloch, who had appeared in 131 straight games without an injury, hurt himself well mimicking the "Discount Double Check" that Packers QB Aaron Rodgers has made famous in State Farm commercials.
While performing the celebration, Tulloch's left leg appeared to give out and sent the former N.C. State star to the turf.
After the game, Tulloch did not...
